In other words, Trump and Israel’s attempts to manufacture consent for dragging Europe into the war are not going to work and they’re still on their own.

Israel doing their best to drag us into this shitshow

Just as Israel has said that Iran is *just one day away* from a nuclear bomb for the last 30 years
Or that somehow they seem to keep finding copies of Mein Kampf in Gazan / Lebanese / Syrian children’s bedrooms
Or that the school they just bombed with every child inside *totally* had a sprawling network of tunnels underneath that were being used for *evil*
Every word, every single word, out of Israel’s mouth is a lie

Thank god we can track missiles. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the US and Israel send a missile to Europe and then blame it on Iran. You just know Agent Krasnov and bibi are just itching for a false flag attack.

We lost enough of our people in Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe it to them not to get dragged into another American Imperialist shitshow.
HotFlatus69 on
The Russians, Chinese, Americans, North Korea and French also have missiles that can hit the UK.
Maybe we should start a war with them, then we can justify attacking them because they might attack us.

They’re gonna try every dirty trick in the book to drag us into this. And I fear they will be successful.

1. Bomb British base & claim is was Iran
2. Claim Iran is planning to bomb Europe

Where was the evidence that Iraq was targeting the UK with missiles under the rule of Saddam Hussein?
Selective logic.
oliverprose on
I think the minister is spot on – I’m sure he’s been briefed by the MoD before going on that there’s capability there, but no intent as yet. I’d also doubt that Iran wants to actually escalate it by attacking us or any member of the various major alliances, no matter how much they’re flailing around at the moment.
ReverendRevenge on
Pin this. Something will happen that means UK and/or EU will have no choice but to join this war. A missile strike of dubious origin maybe, or a terrorist attack with Iran’s fingerprints all over it…

Wonder if this means the US/Israel is now going to attempt a false flag against the UK.

No shit Sherlock, they have not sent any missiles to Europe (well, consider Turkey and Cyprus as you wish) so far.

100 bucks says it was the Israelis that fired at Diego Garcia.
They want the UK involved like their lap dog USA.

Why would they be? We didn’t blow up an elementary girls school in Iran anytime recently.

Of course not.
As much as the IDF(and its puppet)would love to drag in the rest of Europe to do its bidding this is a case where the delusion needs to be ignored

As if the UK hasn’t been running global intelligence networks since before Israel even existed. Pretty sure British intelligence can assess a threat without Netanyahu and Trump practically foaming at the mouth for backup. Netanyahu has been itching to drag everyone else into this, hardly a neutral alarm bell.
MrEoss on
Of course not, but it does sow the seed for countries to infight and be less diplomatic about the fact that the US has instigated this mess. Psychological warfare.

We need to be stronger in rebuking Israel’s bullshit “intelligence” reports.
They are nothing more than wishful thinking on their part to try to legitimise their illegal war and bring more countries on side.

Does Iran have missiles that can now reach London? Time is going to tell…..
Blackfireknight16 on
I agree, but I would not be surprised if Iran had a small stockpile of long-range missiles. While I don’t think they’d use them, I wouldn’t be surprised that they had them.

I dont even think its a right/ left thing.
We have had Blair with Iraq
And enough of other peoples wars in Afghanistan.
Trump is on his own in this mess.

Wasn’t Cyprus targeted? And hit infact?
Only took Europe a week or two to respond and get a boat out there to show force.
I doubt Iran can hit mainland Europe accurately or consistently, but they certainly can pull off attacks, especially with various sleeper cells we have seen arrested for targeting jews etc recently.. (or nuclear/military bases..)
Idk how simpletons have seen bad guys Israel and USA, and decided that means that Iran is a good guy
This is a war between multiple bad guys. Taking a side doesn’t make you enlightened. Supporting either side means supporting extremist horrible actions and people, with countless victims.
Europe can take a principled stand. But when energy prices keep increasing, what’s the plan? Valiantly let populations suffer? What if it was winter? How will summer and no a/c work in some places? We might not have created this shit show but we’re going to be paying the cheques to fund it (and Russia will benefit too from energy prices no doubt.. Yay.tricefta of evil)

No Israel/USA, we not interested in bring about the end of times because you believe you’re the chosen people.
Grow up.

we deserve better propaganda. this is the same shit they tried with sadam hussein of iraq.
manic_panda on
The whole lot of it just reeks of false panic rhetoric to drag us in. Just listen to the words ‘their missiles have the range to hit London, Paris, Berlin and Rome’. Yes. So do yours Israel, and so do France’s, Spain’s, ours and so on. It doesn’t mean we’re going to strike Paris now doesn’t it?
This is like trying to convince someone to run someone over with a car because that person has the ability to maybe hurt you.
Now none of it absolved what the Iranian regime is doing, at all, but launching war with no plan, no mitigation of civilian casualty and actively attempting to target infrastructure that will cripple any future growth of a better regime is madness. And anyone trying to claim we need to get involved even though we don’t have a dog in the fight is just plain stupid.
